The best restaurants serving British food in East Midlands

Freshly cooked. But some of my order was missing from my take away! The lady taking the orders should be able to understand English!! Won't be going again

Food was amazing, beef done perfectly pink and you could have cut the pork with a spoon it so was so tender. Mashed potatoes, stuffing, cauliflower cheese and Yorkshire pudding were all great as well. Desserts we chose were the sticky toffee pudding which they allowed us to swap the ice cream for custard and the jam sponge with custard, both were amazing and piping hot. We had a drink each as well as myself having a coffee also which was a really nice cup of coffee. Staff were lovely and attentive despite it being busy. Only reason for 4 stars is the lack of vegetables (1 bowl between the two of us) and the roast potatoes weren’t crispy, I also felt the room was quite dark. Total came to £81 with the 8% service charge, great value if you ask me.

We visited for Sunday lunch on 15th December. We have lived in the area for 16 years and not visited before. We found it difficult to find the entrance as we had arrived by uber but it’s round the back alongside the car park. I have a problem with bench seating but was offered a chair if necessary. However I managed. The young staff were amazing. So polite and friendly and knowledgeable. Not put off by the fact that we were dressed up in Christmas outfits!! The crab starter was amazing as was the lamb main course. We were with friends one of whom was able to taste a red wine before ordering and the origin was explained to her. A hidden gem.

Good service and great foods! Best hokkess

Loved the place amazing food and service and great atmosphere will be going again

Fantastic lunch. I had the home made beef stew which was superb. The staff were extremely helpful, and obviously enjoying their service. It became obvious that this atmosphere is generated by the fantastic hosts Dean and Paul. What a lovely country pub.

As it's my local I'm biased, but it's a great place with great patrons & staff.

Visited for lunch as I fancied some chips. I really enjoyed the chips and I’d definitely visit again.

Probably one of the best places to get breakfast in Skegess: The food quality is amazing. You may have to wait a little while for your food but it is a small restaurant so there isn't too much staff. The Builder's breakfasts, Beans on toast, as well as other foods served here are, like i did mention, great in quality and also taste really good for a small restaurant. I don't think you can go wrong at Vincent's. I recommend going here, it's a great restaurant

This was our first visit. I reserved a 3hr slot as we were meeting family for Christmas. A family member ordered the pulled pork burger, she is not a fussy eater but what was served looked like dog food. The pulled pork had disintegrated. I tried some and the texture was not nice. Coated in a very large amount of bbq sauce. Not what you expect when you order pulled pork, you expect the nice shredded pieces of pork. This was mush. I raised this with the waitress and they said they can cook a plain one as there is a issue with there pulled pork, but the waitress said she would need to charge me for the new burger. This is the first time I've come across this. If your food is not up to standard and doesn't taste nice is is rude to charge them for something they haven't eaten. I went ahead and got charged with it as it was more important at the time to enjoy our family time and make it memorable than to be arguing with the waitress over extra charges. When the new burger was brought out the burger itself was stone cold, to the point where the cheese slice wasn't even melted so it had clearly been sitting around in the kitchen for a bit before serving it. Which I don't understand why as they were not busy there was only 1 other table dining at that time with 4 people on. My family member decided to eat it but diddnt enjoy it and left most of it. About an hour and a half into our booking the waitress comes to our table and said I've rung your bill up you can pay at the bar. Which made some of my family feel like they wanted us to leave even though I had booked the table for 3hrs. Overall decor is nice. But the food is awful. Dry cold burgers and pulled pork mushy and customer service bad, charging us for a new burger when there food is not up to standard.

had participated in a event recently there with family and friends, some of the desert that was paid for was not served. heating wasn't working. staff were very nice but they need to communicate if something is not working or not happening, and refund if you don't serve what package you sold to your customers.

Great village pub Good food good beer Great people

I met a friend here recently and we had lunch. Food is nice and service was good too. Pleasant polite staff and a nice atmosphere Groups of friends meeting for lunch, tea and cake.

Always friendly and helpful. Great range of freshly fried foods

Just got back from Misterton in Lincolnshire. Cycled 70 miles to be there. I saw Beard Meets Food on Youtube, and realized that Misterton Chippie where he did his competition, was reachable by bicycle. So I decided to do it too. I set off at 9am, and got there by 4pm. Unlike him, I'm not a competition eater. So I decided to order the Codbuster, purely for pleasure. If there was something I didn't want to eat, I didn't have to. And I'd be able to go slow and taste it, rather than breathing it in. So how was it? The fish and chips, was AMAZING. One of the best tasting fish and chips I've ever had. Traditional oil used. And I'd put this in the 'crispy' camp. The batter was more the crunchy type that the soft type. The chips were somewhat crispy too, rather than the oily bendy type. And I LOVE crispy. The fish was very fresh and flaky. I loved that they did both cod and haddock, because most places these days force you into one type. But Misterton gives you choice. It came with an array of dips. I liked the gravy, thick not watery. Everything was done very generously. The price? FANTASTIC. The Codbuster is the same weight as 4 portions of fish and chips. Therefore, at £25 with a free drink and bread and butter and sauces, its like getting each fish and chips for £5. Thats a real steal. I know theres economies of scale involved, so it should be cheap... but still, if they'd made it £30 it would've been worth it. (£35 would probably be pushing it.) The restaurant itself was really nice. No air freshener, thankfully. It smelled fresh, and didn't hit you with any horrible chemical smells you can taste. Decor was modern. Nice and warm. Locals chatting friendlyly. So did I finish my Codbuster challenge? Umm... no. I ate all the fish. All the bread n butter. Decided to use the sauces to dip my chips in. I got through about half the chips, then gave up. Chips are just too darn filling. I know I didn't get through more than half of the chips. (Everything else was relatively easy for me.) The service? SUPERB. I've never been served by friendlier people in my entire life. I know that when people write glowing reviews, they sometimes exaggerate. But this is no exaggeration. It was the best in my life. Let me explain... First, a real shout out to the owner of this place. He was a really stand-up genuine guy. All the staff came out to say hi to me as I ate the Codbuster. Last but not least, the owner of the chippie came for a quick chat. He took a real interest in my story. How I'd cycled all the way from Leeds, specially to be at his chipie. And I asked him about his day too. (He'd been having a bad day and I felt bad for him, but it hadn't dented his friendliness one bit!) After I was done, the owner offered me a free piece of cheesecake. Don't get me wrong, I was MASSIVELY full, but I accepted anyway. This was an event. Now, I'm not a cheesecake fan. But it was the only desert they had, and I thought I'd push the boat out for the occasion. And it was DELICIOUS. Not just the best cheesecake I've ever had, but one of the best deserts I've ever had, period. Really creamy. Strong strawberry flavour. I really wanted to finish the last bite, but I simply couldn't. By this point, my stomach was beginning to feel the sting. I was SO full. No way I was cycling home. But I always keep a tent with me. And the owner, without me even asking, told me I should just set my tent up in their yard. So I actually stayed at the chippy all night... an experience I'll probably never have again in my life! Such a fantastic place, you MUST go visit them, if its at all possible for you. Don't go expecting freebies or to camp or anything :P. But still, if you're in genuine need, these are the type of people to give the shirt off their backs to help. So please, go out of your way, and give them your business!
